What is NLP (Neuro-Liguistic Programing)?
It is a model for excellence helping clients to choose more options for their behavior to effectively expand and enrich their lives and make life more worth living. It is not counseling.
There is magic that occurs in the human brain and neurology system. NLP patterns can transform toxic states of self-contempt, loneliness, boredom, despair, boredom, anxiety, etc.
Early pioneers in NLP viewed the human brain like an information processing unit on a computer that
can be programmed with programs for thinking, behaving, etc., NLP patterns give step-by-step instructions on how to run our own brains.
At times we behave and speak in ways that do not demonstate healthy self love, self acceptance and self-respect.
This pattern is designed to strengthen the ego and enhance self esteem and is taken from the book "The Sourcebook of Magic," by Michael Hall and Barbara Belnap.

1. Think of a model of Loving.
Find a comfortable place where you can relax.
Allow your mind to think about someone who has loved you intensely, even if it occurred for only a moment.

2. Describe the loving model.
Take a deep breath and blow it out.Repeat his several times.
What are the qualities and attributes of the person that gave this love and care?
How would you fully describe it?
As you experience the full sense in that person loving you, why does he or she love you? What else is there
that faciltated this love?

3.Take the position of the person who loved you.
For just a moment, imagine you are floating into the body of the person who loves you. Once you step into that position, imagine looking out at you from that position.As you do, begin to describe the "you" that this person sees... And what does that person see that calls for this wonderful love and care?

What are some of the things that this person loves about you?

How do you feel as you watch and feel this person loving and appreciating you from this position?

What words does or would this person use in describing the inner loving feelings toward you?

How do you look when you see yourself through the eyes of someone who loves you?

Allow yourself to become aware of how looking at yourself lovingly from anothers point of view enriches the experince of knowing yourself as a loveable person.

4. Anchor the feeling of being loved. Place your hand over your heart and fill your heart with love. Hold it there as long as you can. In the future, whenever yuo have doubts, place your hand over your heart, take seveal deep breaths and feel that love.

5.Now step back into your own body and self and feel the love sent to you by this person who really loves you. Place your hand on your heart and feel this tremendous love.

Now, hear what you say to yourself when you enter into the presence of someone who really loves you. What do you see and feel as you look out your eyes knowing this complete love and acceptance?

6. Place your hand over your heart and feel this love.
How does it feel?

Do you have all of those feelilngs of love and feeling loveable in your body?

Take in all of this new information about yourself so it enriches your sense of self.

7. What if you take this into your future? At work, home and in relationships?

Repeat affirmations:
I deserve love just for being myself.
I am a child of God on a divinely appointed earthly mission.

Place you hand over your heart and take this into your future and bring this loving feeling back every time you place your hand over your heart.
Now fill your heart with someone you love, hold it as long as possible and feel this love flow from your heart into your entire body until you are filled with love not only for others, but for yourself.

It was on a journey with my daughter, who was recovering from surgery for Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer, to the pH Miracle Healing Center in Southern California that I learned lessons for life. It was a life and death journey. My daughter had cysts the size of a grapefruit and the size of an orange, a foot of her colon removed, her appendix removed and bladder tumors. The surgeon did an excellent job removing the tumors. But, I lost my 41 year-old son in February...I did not want to lose another child.
We arrived late at the ranch, and as we got out of the car we could actually see stars. The guest house was enchanting. They had a green salad for both of us and also a refrigerator loaded with containers of green juice and additional jars of fresh almond milk. The goal was to make my daughter's blood and tissues more alkaline, because cancer cannot survive in an alkaline environment.
The next morning we were up early for the exercise class. Since Shari was only six weeks away from the extensive six-hour surgery and her abdominal muscles were still tender, I wondered how she would do and watched her every move. It was me, her aging mother, who had to work to keep up with strenuous cardio and yoga exercises. It's important to exercise to break up the acids in your body and to get the lymph system going. Shari, a fitness instructer, kept up, but modified the stomach exercises. After class she was invigorated. I was still puffing.
Next, we all sat down to a breakfast of avacado shakes made with almond milk, cucumber, coconut meat, and fresh coconut water. There were green drinks made with spinach, celery, and cucumber and you could drink as much green juice as you wanted.
I was amazed at the stories from other patients..a mother who had a tumor larger than a golf ball, and in three weeks it was gone. Even after the x-rays her doctor would not believe it and wanted to redo the x-rays. An oncologist who had stage 4 pancreatic cancer was now in remission after being on the alkaline diet for six months.
For lunch there were vegetable soups made by gently frying onions and garlic for about five minutes, then adding a small amount of water, then a crown of broccoli, a half bunch of asparagus, a few chunks of cauliflower, and yellow squash, sea salt and spices to taste (no pepper). I like lots of dill and some basil. This is brought to a gentle boil, simmered for about twenty minutes, cooled between twenty minutes to an hour, then poured into a blender and vita mixer, and mixed to a creamy soup.
After six days I had lost six pounds, my daughter lost about ten, but even more than that the white yeast cells or maybe caner markers were cut in half. Tomography and ultra sound showed no tumors.
We both continued on the diet after we came home from the ranch, and in two weeks I had lost ten pounds. 1. Eat alkaline--avocado shakes 2. Drink lots of green drinks and water. celery 4-5 stalks, 2 cucumbers, 1/2 bag of spinach. 3. Green soups
At the present time, my daughters cancer marker is low and she is recovering. It is truly a miracle.

Dreams of Trisha Thurber, a young adult who had just bought her first home near Day Break, stopped abruptly almost two years ago when she discovered she had inoperable brain cancer.

Trisha started having trouble with her vision in November 2010. “When my head moved, my vision moved<” she said. “I had double vision. Then my mouth started going numb on the left side.”

“When I went to the doctor, he sent me to an opthalmologist who found nothing wrong with my eyes. He sent me to a neurologist who thought that I had M.S. or a tumor.

I had an MRI and from there I went to another doctor who specialized in M.S. It was not M.S...”

After making the round of doctors Trisha finally ended up at Huntsman Cancer Center and at the time they didn’t think it was a tumor, but by March she was throwing up, her double vision was worse and she was really sick. Her job wanted her to go out of town but she was too sick to go.

She went back to the neurologist who did another MRI and after finding out the results, said he had an opening for surgery in a few days. In April she had her first surgery---it was a grade 3 Anna Plastic Astrocytoma. Yes, brain cancer—inoperable.

In May she started chemotherapy and seven weeks of radiation with the severe nausea and vomiting that sometimes accompanies these treatments. . Chemo was five days on and 23 days off for She lost her hair, had to wear a patch over her eye and eventually quit her job. She had to move in with her mother.

She had an MRI every month and the original tumor stayed stable. But in April of 2012 her eye sight was worse. The MRI showed a growth in the front of her brain and in May of 2012 she courageously had another brain surgery. It was also inoperable. In June she underwent eye surgery but it wasn’t helpful.

In October, she is scheduled to have additional surgery but medial bills are mounting.
Her neighbors have scheduled a fund raising 5K run for her on September 29, 2012. Go to http://trotfortrisha.blogspot.com for more information and to find out how you can help.

February 3, 2013
Trisha has now been in the hospital for 3 1/2 weeks. The radiation that she had caused damage to her jaws and last November she was started having a difficult time chewing, eating or talking. Whe was unable to eat and they placed a feeding tube in her stomach, but then she developed pneumonia, was starting to get better, but now she has a new pneumonia that is making it difficult for her to breathe.

Just this week I found out I have Osteoporosis. Who knew? I eat almost no sugar and pretty low carbs. However, that was not always true. As a child I lived on sugar. Sugar sandwiches on white bread. Yuck!

On one corner of our street we had a root beer stand where we daily bought two-penny mugs of frosted root beer. On the other corner Fat's Service Station and he had the best selection of penny candy in town and we could eat all of the candy we could buy--which was a lot. At age nine I learned to make fudge--straight sugar mixed with cocoa, and in addition, peanut brittle which was usually straight sugar without peanuts. My siblings loved it. Two ended up with Stage I diabetes and it was probably my fault.

But, to build our bone density we exercised a lot, mainly by jumping off the shed in the backyard with Superman capes. Yes, we thought we could fly.

My sugar gulping days didn't end there. As a teenager I lived on candy bars and my mother worked at a donut factory. We had donuts for all three meals. Even after marriage I continued to bake brownies and cakes. When I was in my thirties I had arthritis so severe I could hardly walk and every bone in my body ached. My doctor tried to persuade me to give up sugar, but I thought, "Who are you kidding? Do you know who you are talking too?"

Finally, because of the pain, I gave up the sugar. No more sugar, no more pain and no arthritis. However, I continued to have substantial stress--okay, tons of stress that made my body acidic. Better bones like an alkaline envirionment. For my doctorate degree in Holistic Nutrition, "Better Bones, Better Body," by Susan Brown, was part of the curriculum. An alkaline diet, lots of green vegetables, promotes
bone growth. Read my article on how I lost ten pounds in ten days. It is the perfect diet for osteoporosis and I have already been on it a month.

Another reason I have Osteoporosis is because I have a growth on my parathyroid which is so deterimental to bone density. I put off surgery for too long and am now planning surgery.

What else could I do. I had been doing a Younga Yoga for a month, jumping on a minitramp, and some cardio. My doctor recommended a personal trainer and I found that I was already doing many of the exercises she trainer recommended. The next thing I did was sign up at our community spa and they have lots of weight training machines, so I am starting a five day a week weight training regimine.

I met with my friend who owns a Health Food Store and found what I think are the ideal supplements to build bone density (besides smy diet of green drinks--juicing cucumber, celery and spinach, avacado shakes, and green soups and chlorophyl).

I wasn't trying to lose ten pounds and I didn't even notice I was losing weight for several days. It was on a journey with my daughter, who was recovering from surgery for Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer, to a healing ranch in Southern California that I learned lessons for life. It was a life and death journey. I lost my 41 year-old son in February...I did not want to lose another child.

We both continued on the diet after we came home from the ranch, and in two weeks I had lost ten pounds. I need to have surgery for a growth on my parathyroid. I will report if there any changes since I went on the alkaline diet.
Four things to lose weight.
1. Eat alkaline--avacados shakes
2. Drink lots of green drinks and water. celery 4-5 stalks, 2 cucumbers, 1/2 bag of spinach.
3. Green soups
4. Exercise, exercise.

Lack of water is the number one trigger of daytime fatigue. . A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memeory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen. Filtered or distilled water is better than tap water.Even mild dehydration will slow down a person's metabolism as much as three percent. Drink your water.
